The Saga Motel, Spring 1971

The address of the Saga was 1650 Harbor Boulevard, which means it is now the Ramada Anaheim Maingate. This explains the tile artwork that could be seen on the back wall of one of the buildings there. The Saga had 100 rooms, a coffee shop, restaurant, cocktail lounge, gift shop, and travel service.

I was there a great many times - for the Old Movie Theater and Motion Picture Hall of Fame Doug Wright ran in the back corner of the motel. He has some of the original models from King Kong there once. I have an old Register clipping somewhere....
